Despite this evidence and all the other evidence against Straight Inc that we have availiable, it astounds me at the gall the Semblers have by denying the damage done.
I'm going to point out the obvious here: If Sembler were to admit he fucked up in regard to Straight, the implications of that statement would be staggering...considering the program was touted as effective and heartily endorsed by the Reagans andother politicians of the day...
Sembler admitting he fucked up is tantamount to the US gov't admitting that ~it fucked up, and that probably won't just happen on its own, now will it??
Oh, agreed.....Sembler admittance that they were wrong, would be staggering! And of course the implications to the Gov't would be sharp as well. But that what I have wondered about Sembler all along...who did he answer to? Some how, Straight Inc. remained in existance for as long as it did because it was ALLOWED to exist for as long as it did. But, how far up the Gov't's ass did Sembler burrow himself....and which branch? CIA? (Well, Bush ran that at the time) Administrative Branch, well, not so sure about Ronny, but clearly his wife Nancy had her bum nuzzeled by a Sembler...maybe Betty??? Legislative Branch...I dunno bout that one. So yeah, there would be some tumultious times if Sembler suddenly flipped and admited he was wrong.
It probably just wont happen on its own...yet, more and more evidence is building against them and thier ideology. Evidence in the form of research, evidence in the form of a formal apology from an executive staff member and evidence of our own personal experiance. As this continues to build, as it is....he may not admit he was wrong....but he will look more and more foolish in the public eyes. Not that he appears concerned about it, but the public is massive and for the most part they do not condone what happened to us, and continues to happen to our youth today....motavated out of fear.....
Same whore, different dress. Call it love, but make um do it out of fear. Call it theraphy, as it is also fear based. It's the same formula he has used since his son Brent was in the Seed. Well after the gov't closed it down, Sembler was so enamoured with the Seed and it's techniques, he started his own style of warehousing kids, lying to parents, raking in major $$$ all in the name of love and compassion for our children.
Sembler is old hat at this game. If it will make him $$$...if it somehow sticks a feather in his cap and he can get (which he can) his cronies to support his manical dream...he will do it...with surgical percison. He doesnt give a fat rats ass about our welfare now....cause he is not getting our money..Hell, he gives less than a rats ass about the kid who got hurt on his comercial property.....they were evicted from the hotel they had to stay in, day after x-mas. He is a shady fuck.......Yet in the long run, it aint about him. Karmic law will take care of him. It is about our healing, our surviving, our thriving, our fight/plight. To bring this all on Sembler isn't what will bring peace to our tattered souls, it is a waste of time, effort, and poor focus. If the focus is brought to a point where it was wrong....it is generally acknowledged it was wrong. And the focus is turned to us as the walking wounded, the Drug War POWs and we continue to heal. Sembler is left out of the lime light, he gets no glory as he once did. Then he will be limited to building shitty, cheesy strip malls.
The more I think about it, the more I think Sembler should be less and less our focus, of course that doesnt mean I wont piss on his grave when he dies. Just saying I think the focus should be on our healing, our dismantaling of current operations with Straight Inc under tones. This thread was written by someone who clearly suffers, and has suffered for an awful long time....this person needs our focus....how to heal, how to survive with dignity, how to live comfortable in thier own skin. Fuck Sembler! Your right Frod, he ultimately fucked us up......lil chance in hell he will do anything to help us heal and be made once again whole. This type of thinking is simply wishfull thinking and dare I say a waste of time. Considering that so many suffer, Sembler is least on my list. Lets not waste our valuable resources on the piece of shit. Especially when there are so many of us that really need each other. Now that dont mean we cant besmirch his name, call him out on his bullshit....but take it in stride, and keep focus on the healing...because if there is anything that can be done that would be to focus on ourselves and keep the healing in the forefront of our conciousness. If we can help others in other situations....we can do that also.....But again Frod, waiting on Sembler to apologize is a monumental waste of time. The hate, disgust and all that goes with it, is not negative or a foreign emotion...yet we feel empowered....I think that was part of the plan. Allow us to feel empowered, but in actuality, we are impotent in our rage against the Sembler machine. Why is that ya ask.......because of fear. The fear instilled within us back in the day...is still prominent today.....why have we had only one LOA....because the rest are in fear....Fuck that! That same hate, disgust has got to somehow beturned back on us, as a motavating source to heal and become whole
We have had memorials, reunions....why not something with a lil more bite, like a summit. Invite healers of all disciplines, faiths, religions....lets do something huge for ourselves, for the sake of our own sanity and dignity. However, lets not do it on the sly....hoping to fuck up Sembler....lets do this for "US", out in the open, for all survivors.....program lovers and program haters meeting together with one primary goal...Healing.
Your good people Frod, I appreciate the discourse and the food for thought. And if I never said anything....thanks for helping out our mutual friend RTP2003...that says to me, your good people!
Much Healing
In Peace
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti
